POLICE have upped their search for a millionaire's son wanted in connection with the alleged murder of Nantwich market trader Brian Waters.

They have named Chris More, who they believe has fled to Spain, as one of Britain's most wanted men, and offered a £10,000 reward for information which leads to his arrest.

Police say that More flew out of the country from John Lennon Airport at Liverpool two days after Mr Waters was killed at Burnt House Farm, Tabley, on June 19 last year.

As all their efforts to trace him drew a blank, the police have now upped their appeal for help through the BBC.

Detective Chief Inspector Phil Jones, who is heading the murder inquiry, said there had been some response to the screening of More's picture on Crimewatch.

But he added: 'We have still not found him, so this and other inquiries we are making into Mr Waters' death, are still ongoing.'

More, who drives a red Mercedes with the registration number JIMS X, is the son of millionaires Christopher and Eileen More who live in a £3.5m home at Lymm, near Warrington.

A total of eight men, five of them charged with murder, have already been arrested following the discovery of Mr Waters' body along with a badly beaten man, 20-year-old Suleman Razak at the Tabley farm last summer.

Following the discovery of cannabis at the premises police say they believe the killing was drug-related.

Other charges include conspiracy to inflict grievous bodily harm, assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice.

The trial of the eight starts at Chester Crown Court on June 9.

Mr Waters, aged 43, who received horrific injuries before he died, lived in a quiet culde-sac at Mainwaring Close at Stapeley just outside Nantwich.

He had worked as a market trader in South Cheshire, and was married with a 25-year-old son and a 21-year-old daughter. The family has since moved out of the home.

Home Office pathologists who carried out a post mortem on Mr Waters' body revealed that he had died from multiple injuries from a blunt instrument.

Anyone with information on Graham More, or in connection with the incident, should phone police on 01244 350000.
